Filmmakers Tony and Ridley Scott will be creating a documentary about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln based on “Killing Lincoln,” the book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard which was released this fall.

“National Geographic has a great legacy of telling some of history’s most riveting stories,” said the political commentator in a statement. “The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln is no exception, as it continues to be one of the most significant, life-changing events in America’s young history. Ridley and Tony Scott are incredible directors, producers and amazing storytellers with the ability to bring this story to life in a way no one else can.”
